Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A question regarding Tiptronic transmissions: I have a 2003 Boxster S M96.24 long block I acquired in a deal with a 2001 Boxster S chassis. For sale nearby is a 2003 Boxster 2.7 Tiptronic with a bad engine. Will the 3.2 L long block work with the Tiptronic gearbox that comes with the car ? Will the induction from the 2.7 ( an M96.23, I would think) work with the 3.2?

Everything should swap over just fine. While doing the swap consider adding a 996 intake manifold and lowers the engine a bit. Take a look through some threads on here for data/ DIY information.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
